I live with my family and our dog in Ashford, soon moving into my own space nearby. I have autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, hearing impairment, and speech and language delay. I appreciate calm, understanding support, verbal prompts, physical help, and strategies to manage overwhelm. I enjoy outings, music, games, and being involved in activities.
